Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 287 pages. These memoirs, suffused with humour and rude vigour, represent probably the m ost realistic, down-to-earth, and entertaining contemporary account of sea life in the age of sail. Unlike most of the sailors' memoirs of the Nelsonic navy, Ga rdner's were not written for publication but purely for the entertainment of his family and friends, and did not see publication until long after his death, so potential problems of libel did not constrain him when it came to opinions of in dividuals, high or low, in the naval service. He himself saw plenty of action an d served in a number of famous ships, not least the Victory, but what interests him most are his mess-mates and their eccentricities. The pranks, scams and amus ements that broke up the claustrophobic life of a warship's crew form a large pa rt of his narrative, and some of his stories are almost surreal in their detail, but Gardner's vision of the bawdy, drunken and often comic-opera life of the na vy rings more true than the usual Victorian image of the heroic Wooden Walls of Old England.…

Large 8vo. 6.5 x 9.5 inches. xx + [2] + 287+ [1] pp. + 4 pp. list of publications. Bound in navy buckram, gilt, with gilt block of Society's seal on front board. A very good copy. Decorated by Society's seal on title page. An undated facsimile reprint of the original 1906 publication. An account of service at sea by James Anthony Gardner, as his father's servant, midshipman and lieutenant, on fifteen vessels, 1775-1802 (including the Victory, 1794-95) and subsequently as agent of transports at Portsmouth and in charge of the Fairlight Signal Station, 1806-14. He was then placed on half pay and retired in 1830 with the rank of commander. Gardner (1770-1846) attended the Naval Academy, Gosport, 1780-81 and his real sea service began on the Panther in 1782. As he did not intend his memoirs for publication, Gardner was able to provide an uninhibited account of life of board with criticism of his shipmates. At the end of each account of a ship are comments on fellow officers, petty officers, etc., e.g. Broke by court martial and rendered incapable of serving, for going on shore without leave to fight a duel. Admiral Sir Richard Vesey Hamilton (1829-1912) served in the Arctic and the Second China War and was appointed First Naval Lord in 1889. John Knox Laughton (1830-1915) served at sea as a Royal Navy Instructor and then pursued a career ashore as a teacher and naval historian. He became Professor of Modern History at King's College, London and co-founded the Navy Records Society in 1893, becoming its first secretary.
